For these papers please consult the main Guide to the Middle East Centre Archive. Where a more detailed description of a collection exists, this is indicated in this Guide by the word ‘Handlist’.

  • ORIGINS of the PALESTINE MANDATE by Adam Garfinkle
    NOVEMBER 2014 ORIGINS OF THE PALESTINE MANDATE By Adam Garfinkle Adam Garfinkle, Editor of The American Interest Magazine, served as the principal speechwriter to Secretary of State Colin Powell. He has also been editor of The National Interest and has taught at Johns Hopkins University’s School for Advanced International Studies (SAIS), the University of Pennsylvania, Haverford College and other institutions of higher learning. An alumnus of FPRI, he currently serves on FPRI’s Board of Advisors. This essay is based on a lecture he delivered to FPRI’s Butcher History Institute on “Teaching about Israel and Palestine,” October 25-26, 2014. A link to the the videofiles of each lecture can be found here: http://www.fpri.org/events/2014/10/teaching-about- israel-and-palestine Like everything else historical, the Palestine Mandate has a history with a chronological beginning, a middle, and, in this case, an end. From a strictly legal point of view, that beginning was September 29, 1923, and the end was midnight, May 14, 1948, putting the middle expanse at just short of 25 years. But also like everything else historical, it is no simple matter to determine either how far back in the historical tapestry to go in search of origins, or how far to lean history into its consequences up to and speculatively beyond the present time. These decisions depend ultimately on the purposes of an historical inquiry and, whatever historical investigators may say, all such inquiries do have purposes, whether recognized, admitted, and articulated or not. A.J.P. Taylor’s famous insistence that historical analysis has no purpose other than enlightened storytelling, rendering the entire enterprise much closer to literature than to social science, is interesting precisely because it is such an outlier perspective among professional historians.

A few months earlier, in December 1917, General Allenby had led the British troops into Jerusalem, ending Ottoman rule in the city and pav- ing the way for greater British success in the region. Though the conquest of Jerusalem proved to be a relatively easy military task, the control of the city required a larger set of skills.

  • Moving Zionism to Asia: Texts and Tactics of Colonial Settlement, Formatted: Font: Bold
    14. <CN>14.</> <CT>Moving Zionism to Asia: Texts and Tactics of Colonial Settlement, Formatted: Font: Bold 1917–1921</> <AU>Elizabeth F. Thompsonn</> <CO>As a historian of the modern Middle East, I welcome Derek Penslar’s effort to “plac[e] Zionism in Asia.”1 First, he argues that Zionism as practiced in West Asia (Palestine) was not true settlement- colonialism, because settlers were not citizens of the colonial power ruling the territory (Britain). Then he turns to South Asia and to cultural analysis to argue that European Zionism shared similar roots and ideological values with Indian anti-colonial nationalism. On these bases, Penslar concludes that Zionists cannot be considered fully colonialist until after they founded the state State of Israel in 1948.</> My critique focuses on two related points. The first considers the argument’s key methodological pivot, Penslar’s distinction between practice and discourse, between sociology and history, and between sensibility and structure. His structural analysis of Zionism in Palestine remains distinct from his discourse analysis of Jewish nationalist writing in Europe. This spatial separation of method introduces critical distortions to Penslar’s presentation of Zionism in Palestine. If we look at what Zionists both said and did in Palestine before 1948, we find little European anti-colonialism and an intimate alliance of settlers with the British mandatory (colonial) state. My second point addresses the problematic limits to Penslar’s move of Zionism into West Asia. Colonialism is generally understood as a relationship; —that is, the institutionalization of practices that perpetuate the subordination of one people to another in a differentiated space.2 Penslar, however, neglects the other half of the Zionists’ encounter in 513 Palestine: the indigenous peoples, including Arabic-speaking Jews, Muslims, and Christians.

  • 'Letters from Baghdad' Doc Reveals the Desert Adventures of Gertrude Bell
    Review 'Letters from Baghdad' doc reveals the desert adventures of Gertrude Bell British adventurer Gertrude Bell, from the documentary "Letters From Baghdad." (Gertrude Bell Archive, Newcastle University) By Jeffrey Fleishman JUNE 8, 2017, 2:10 PM he roamed across deserts, loading camels with evening gowns and cutlery, slipping through ancient ruins like a spy and finding herself the lone woman at the center of a struggle that defined the borders and politics of a Middle East that has refused to be tamed by Western S powers. Gertrude Bell was heroine, archaeologist, feminist and map-maker. She spoke Persian and Arabic, was the confidant of a king and was famously unlucky in love. The daughter of a British industrialist, her wanderings through Syria and Iraq in the early 1900s were as vital to deciphering the region as those of her more celebrated male counterpart T.E. Lawrence, better known as Lawrence of Arabia. A new film, “Letters from Baghdad,” explores the complexities of a character who was at once graceful and arrogant, erudite and earthen. The documentary is based on letters and communiqués — Tilda Swinton is the voice of Bell — that follow her from the aristocracy and drizzle of Yorkshire, England, to the scoured, arid expanses of tribesmen, Bedouins and sheikhs. Bell called the Middle East “my second native country.” Insights from her years of travel helped shape the boundaries of Iraq after World War I and the fall of the Ottoman Empire. That Iraq, with its uneasy balance of Kurds, Sunnis and Shiites, has confounded the West for decades, including two American-led wars, and the rise of ISIS, which today threatens stability from Cairo to Damascus to Dubai.
